Accident Belongs.

VALPARAISO Qnd.), october l4th.-The verdict
of the Coroner's inquest at the Kout disaster is
made public to-day. The Coroner says; 1.-The

few minutes behind it; and by the negligence
or carelessness of Engineer Dorsey, of the
freight, running his engine at high rate of
speed through fog, knowing that the passen-
ger train Was but a short way in advance with
disabled engine"

that death resulted from carelessness or negli-
gence ON the part of the train dispatcher and
engineer and the company for allowing Grip
pied engine pulling passenger train, to be on
the road few minutes in advance of fast
freight

left over fr, m target practice. Another eXpla-
nation is, it is not unlikely that several men
put small pebbles in their guns. An investiga-
ton will be made.
